Noblesville Schools says it is "addressing the issue" after a Noblesville High School student was identified yelling profanities and racial slurs while wearing a Nazi flag in a video circulating on social media.

The video shows the student yelling into a megaphone in Forest Park, a Nazi flag draped around his shoulders, with the text "come to forest." The person recording the video says, "Let me see your flag, turn around."

The district responded with a statement on Monday — when students had the day off in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day — saying it was aware of the "ugly social media post."

"We do not condone this type of behavior and are passionate about creating an environment where all our students and staff feel respected," the district said. "We will be addressing this issue with the students in question tomorrow."

We are aware of the ugly social media post. We do not condone this type of behavior and are passionate about creating an environment where all our students and staff feel respected. We will be addressing this issue with the students in question tomorrow.

The district sent a second message to parents on Tuesday, saying it wanted parents to be aware of the social media post "involving an NHS student making ugly, racially derogatory comments."

"While the post in question did not happen on school property, during school hours, or at a school event, we are addressing this issue with the student involved," the district said.

When asked if disciplinary action would be taken against the student, Noblesville spokeswoman Marnie Cook referred IndyStar to the district's code of conduct. The code says a student may be "suspended or expelled for engaging in unlawful activity on or off school grounds" if the activity interferes with the school's mission or if the student needs to be removed to restore order or protect people on school property.

Noblesville Police Department was made aware of the situation and found no laws were violated, said Lt. Bruce Barnes.

According to state data, Noblesville Schools' student body is 83 percent white. About 4 percent, or 462 of the more than 10,500 students, are black. At the high school, about 100 of its nearly 3,000 students are black.

A 2015 graduate of Noblesville High School, Raven Cobb, brought the video to the district's attention in a tweet, asking "Do y'all think this is okay?" She also posted the video on Facebook in a post that has since been taken down.

"When I saw this video I just thought, 'This is enough, someone needs to see this," Cobb said Wednesday morning. "I have tried emailing the school about situations before. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten a response."

Cobb said she enjoyed her years at Noblesville High School, but she thinks there are students who are worried for their safety in the hallways as a result of the student's slurs.

"That's not OK, in my opinion, whatsoever," Cobb said. "I'm just glad it went viral because people got to see some of the stuff that goes on at Noblesville High School."

The student's Twitter account has been deactivated. IndyStar was not able to reach the student on Wednesday.

Noblesville resident and parent Kurt Beard said the video shows there is racism in the community.

"To me, the video was racism, " he said. "I think that's the only way to define it, would be really just sad, tragic racism that thrives in some part of our community... we need to be better than this. we need to tell the people who unfortunately use that (language) that it doesn't belong here."

He said he hopes the district can turn this into a "teachable moment" for all students.

"That seven-second video...really encapsulates the reason for why my daughter still learns so many important lessons about the civil rights movement," he said. "Because we still need them."

WRTV (Channel 6) reported the student lost his job over the incident, and he is now concerned about his chances of getting into the military. He told WRTV he is "sincerely sorry."
